Kansas. 



States are not great 

Except as men may make them. 
Men are not great except they do and dare 
But states, like men, 

Have destinies that take them — 
That bear them on, not knowing why or wiiere. 

— Ware. 



Walls of Corn. 



What do they hold — these walls of corn, 
Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn: 

He who questions may soon be told: 
A great state's wealth these walls enfold. 

Open the atlas, conned by rule, 

In the olden days of the district school; 

Point to the ricii and bounteous land, 
That yields such fruits to the toiler's hand. 

'Treeless desert," they called it then, 
Haunted by beasts, and forsook by men. 

Little they knew what wealth untold 

Lay hid where the desolate prairies rolled. 

Who would have dared, with brush or pen, 
As this land is now, to paint it then? 



— Mks. Allerton.

Kansas Historical Society. 



^ I ^HE Kansas historical exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition is 
intended to indicate in some measure the character of the work of the 
Kansas State Historical Society. The primary object of the Society is that 
of preserving the materials of the history of Kansas. Beyond this, the scope 
of its work has been extended to that of making up a general library of ref- 
erence. The library now contains 70,318 volumes, namely: 14,414 bound 
volumes, 43,271 unbound volumes and pamphlets, and 12,633 bound news- 
paper files and volumes of periodicals. 

A special work of the Society is that of making a collection of the period- 
ical literature of the state and country, more especially of newspapei-s. The 
current issues of newspapers are regarded as the best materials of history. 
They contain a record of progress and a record of the social life of the peo- 
ple. In them is contained every essential fact connected with the growth and 
development of the community in which they are published : Marriages and 
deaths; the establishment of business and manufacturing enterprises, and 
their changes ; transfers of property ; the erection of all important buildings ; 
the results of elections; the opening of streets; the building of railroads ; fires 
and floods ; the municipal policies suggested, discussed, and adopted ; and the 
daily life, thought, hopes, triumphs and disappointments of the people. The 
work of the Kansas Historical Society in this department, proportionately, 
far exceeds that of any other library. The newspaper collections are chiefly 
of those local to Kansas. Of the 12,392 bound volumes of newspapers in the 
library, 9,054 are of Kansas newspapers. These cover the period of the en ■ 
tire history of Kansas since the passage of the law opening Kansas Territory 
to settlement. The first issue of the first Kansas newspaper is dated Septem- 
ber 16, 1854. The files of that newspaper are in the library of the Society. 

The library contains a complete collection of the publications of the state 
and territory of Kansas from the time of the organization of government 
within its limits, and a nearly complete collection of all the books and pam-

phlets of all classes published in Kansas. It has a very full collection of the 
publications of the United States Government, beginning with those of the 
first Congress, in 1789, and including the scientific and other publications is- 
sued by all the departments. The Society is making a full library of the re- 
ports and publications of all societies and institutions; such publications as 
contain the materials of the history of current thought, investigation and ex- 
perience in all departments of history, politics, sociology, religion, science, and 
the arts. 

The Society was organized in 1875, and began its work early in 1876. Its 
collections are the property of the state, and are kept in the state capitol, in 
rooms provided for the Society's use. The expenses of the work of the Soci- 
ety, and of purchases to augment its library, are defrayed by the state. 

The Exhibit. 

The World's Fair exhibit contains a selection of portraits, pictures and 
statuary from the Society's collections, also a selection of Kansas state pub- 
lications, and of books of history, science, and literature, relating to Kansas, 
or by Kansas authors. As a special feature of the Society is that of preserv- 
ing files of newspapers and periodicals, the newspapers published in two coun- 
ties of the state are exhibited: those of Douglas, one of the oldest counties, 
and those of Morton, one of the newest. The regular issues of all of the 
newspapers in all of the counties are thus being preserved. 

The portraits, pictures and statuary are in the south-central room of the 
second story of the Kansas building. The books, newspaper tiles and por- 
trait albums are in the educational room, on the same floor. 

The Kansas State Historical Society invites exchanges with all societies 
and institutions.

and was confined in confederate prisons in Mississippi and at Richmond, Va. At

church, of which Mr. Campbell was the founder. He settled in Atchison county, 
Kansas, in 1855. His outspoken free-state sentiments led to his violent persecution 
by the pro-slavery party at Atchison, and he was at one time, after being otherwise 
shamefully maltreated, set adrift on a raft on the Missouri river. He lived to see 
Kansas a free state, and slavery abolished. He was always a most highly-respected 
and useful citizen of Kansas. He died October 19, 1888. 

58. This portrait of John Bbown was painted by Selden J. Woodman, from a 
photograph belonging to the Webb collection in the library of the Kansas State His- 
torical Society. The portrait exhibits expressive features, which are, in a measure, 
concealed in the portraiture of Ca]3tain Brown with the full beard. Portrait No. 62, 
by Ruggles, was painted from the same photograph. Many citizens of Kansas who 
remember John Brown as he appeared in the stirring events of August and Septem- 
ber, 1856, recognize the portrait without the beard as far the most satisfactory. 

59. This is an engraved portrait of Capt. John Beown, by Sartain.

Kas., and vicinity, who proceeded, in July, 1859, from Lawrence by wagon to St. Jo-

silenced the jailer, and brought from the prison, across the Missouri river to Kansas,

sis." Orville C. Brown, who presented the Historical Society with this copy, gives 
in substance the following account of the picture: Photo copy of the painting of 
heroic size, which I saw on exhibition in Utica, N. Y., soon after John Brown's 
death. I give a key with the picture, as I understood from the explanation given 
me by the artist who produced the painting, and kindly made me the copy: (1) 
The central figure, John Brown. (2) Above him, the Virginia coat of arms. (3) In 
foreground, at the right, statute of liberty blindfolded. (4) At his left, two sympa- 
thizing friends. (5) At his right, two oflBcials with imbecile expression of disgust 
of the prisoners noticing the colored woman and child. (6) The sheriff, with angry 
look at the woman, whose child's face seems but the reflection of his own.

overland through Iowa and Nebraska to Kansas. In 1860, he was brought to Wash- 
ington as a witness before Senator Mason's committee for the investigation of John 
Brown's Harper's Ferry raid. Refusing to testify, Mr. Hyatt was placed in jail at 
Washington, and there confined 13 weeks. He there gave strict attention to his 
New York business interests, which were extensive, and freely gave his portrait to 
those who sought it, with his autograph and the place, Washington jail, boldly in- 
scribed. This portrait (No. 66) was presented to Dr. Thomas H. Webb, secretary of 
the New England Emigrant Aid Company, April 21, 1860. The portrait, No. 69, was 
contributed by Mr. Hyatt to the collections of the Kansas State Historical Society 
in 1892. He has made large contributions to the manuscript collections of the library 
of the Society.

The books in this exhibit are by Kansas authors, or are such as relate in 
some way directly to Kansas. They by no means include all the books of 
this class which the library contains, many such being retained by reason of 
their need in the library for use. The exhibit does not in any degree repre- 
sent the large number of Kansas pamphlets in the library, and only gives a 
slight indication of the extent of the scrap collection, and shows nothing of 
the manuscript collection, and nothing of the contents of the general library.
